Robot-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder: 1-year functional outcomes

摘要

Complete intracorporeal urinar y diversion(ICUD)with an orthotopic neobladder is an emerging procedure.The objective of this article was to assess retrospectively the urodynamic and continence results after robot-assisted radical cystectomy(RARC)and ICUD with a modified orthotopic Studer neobladder.After a median follow-up time of 11 months,all patients were socially continent(≤1 pad)at daytime.Median Pouch capacity was 404 ml with a median postvoid residual volume of 0 ml.All patients stated that they would choose the same type of urinary diversion again.RARC and ICUD with orthotopic neobladder provides promising functional and urodynamic results with high patient satisfaction.
